Welcome. As you deal with some of the worst air quality in the world, remember the Utah GOP desperately wants to get rid of the EPA Clean Air Act

The rest of Utah politics makes so much more sense with that context.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

About 78.8% of eligible voters did NOT vote for Trump. 35.5% of eligible voters stayed home. 48.3% voted Harris. If my math is correct, only 21.2% of eligible voters voted for Trump. This is NOT an overwhelming victory. GOP does not have a mandate. 78.8% of Americans deserve representation, too.

Trump spread hate on social media for Thanksgiving while Kamala volunteered at a soup kitchen. Not to score points for a campaign, but because of who she is. I’m so sad for what could have been. We’re in for some awful years.

25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.

A lot of Americans are about to find out what the federal government they so despise actually does. Of course by then it will likely be too late.

Americans saw this amazing woman and decided to vote for a convicted felon who wants to give tax cuts to billionaires and will cut Medicare, Social Security, education funding, and housing assistance to pay for it.

Since 1974, vaccination has averted 154 MILLION deaths:

-- 146 million of those, children under age 5
-- 101 million of those, infants under age 1

Now THAT is pro-life.

One thing I look for in a social network is not to have the CEO shove his reactionary political views in my face every time I open the app. So I’m happy here.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Now’s a good time to start following epidemiologists. We’ll be more dependent than ever on healthcare workers, scientists, and researchers for evidence based information.

Hello! I’m making the switch from the cesspool Twitter’s become to Bluesky where I hope to once again have a voice. Never a huge account, I did have over 2500 followers and am now starting at 8. Appreciate any followers—I’ll follow back—so I don’t look like a bot account. Happy to be here!
